He is a pass-first playmaker with unselfish instincts, showing an understanding of floor spacing and how to get to his spots to distribute effectively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2967643,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Page-Getter.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Page-Getter.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2967643" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2523873' first='Page' last='Getter']</strong> (6'3/SF/'28/St. Andrew's) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: page_getter</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @PageGetter</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Page's versatility stood out as he comfortably shifted between initiating the offense and playing off the ball. From cutting, screening, and crashing the boards to creating scoring chances on the wing, he impacted the game in multiple ways. He has a strong frame, functional athleticism, and a mature approach, and showed poise beyond his years and is a name to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2967644,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Easton-Hicks.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/Easton-Hicks.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2967644" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2523837' first='Easton' last='Hicks']</strong> (5'10/CG/'28/Marietta) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: 1ebh1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @eastonhicks1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Easton proved to be one of the most polished scorers at camp. His rare blend of speed, body control, and burst made him a constant threat off the bounce. What sets him apart is his ability to change speeds, attacking with pace but knowing when to slow down to create. He is a crafty finisher who embraces contact, and he excelled as a slasher, pick-and-roll creator, and perimeter shooter. He also showed quick decision-making as a passer with a creative flair.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2967645,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Jayden-Mensah-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Jayden-Mensah-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2967645" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2960745' first='Jayden' last='Mensah']</strong> (5'4/PG/'28/Lambert) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Jt_h00ps</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Jt_h00ps</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jayden may be undersized, but his speed and relentless energy allowed him to live in the paint. He consistently pushed the pace and competed on both ends of the floor with great effort. While his floor game is solid, the main question moving forward is how much physical growth will impact his development as he continues to compete against bigger guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2967646,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Trey-Tripp-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Trey-Tripp-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2967646" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2920604' first='Trey' last='Tripp']</strong> (6'0/SG/'28/Heritage) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Trey is an off-guard who stood out as a catch-and-shoot threat from beyond the arc, spacing the floor effectively. While most of his production came as a perimeter specialist, he showed flashes of other tools in his game. Becoming more assertive and confident in expanding his offensive arsenal will be key as defenders begin to adjust to his shooting ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2967647,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Jaelyn-Weingart-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Jaelyn-Weingart-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2967647" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2917933' first='Jaelyn' last='Weingart']</strong> (6'0/SG/'28/Central-Carroll) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jaelyn flashed a multi-level scoring game, showing the ability to hit threes as well as attack off the bounce and finish around the rim. His scoring skill set is budding, but his next step is to play with greater assertiveness and maximize opportunities when they come his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2967648,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Henry-Washington-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Henry-Washington-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2967648" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2919856' first='Henry' last='Washington']</strong> (6'1/SF/'28/Callaway) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG:&nbsp; henrywashington_28</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Henry brought energy and effort to the floor, especially on the glass. He made opponents work for rebounds, preventing easy second-chance looks. While he showed some offensive tools, he would benefit from being more aggressive and assertive to round out his impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2967649,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Jason-Beck-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/PH-Jason-Beck-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2967649" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2776424' first='Jason' last='Beck']</strong> (6'2/SF/'28/Fulton Science Academy) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: jasonbeck2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @jasonbeck2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jason made his presence felt early, by knocking down shots from behind the arc, and equally impressive, was he was being a vocal leader on the floor. His communication stood out, as he constantly directed and energized teammates. While his production dipped later in the day, likely due to fatigue, his shooting and leadership left a strong impression.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2523820' first='Caden' last='Easter']</strong> (6'1/SG/'28/Arabia Mountain) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: cadeneasterr&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @caden1easter</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Caden is an off-guard who brought a relentless, aggressive approach to the floor, especially in transition, where he wasted no movement getting downhill. While finishing at the rim was inconsistent at times, his speed and physicality made him difficult to contain in the open floor. Defensively, he put pressure on opponents, but improving his on-ball defense will help him evolve into a true two-way impact player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
